Product Description

Five centuries ago, anatomist Andr Vsale opened up the human body to science for the first time in history. Today, DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA opens the human body to the cinema. It reveals that human flesh is an extraordinary landscape that exists only through the gaze and attention of others. As places of care, suffering and hope, hospitals are laboratories that connect every body in the world.

Review

Critics Pick! A phantasmagorical journey An eye-opening film. Through these directors eyes, these bodies look wondrous and unsettling, macabre and beautiful, and often uncannily unfamiliar. --The New York Times

"Extraordinary... digs deep into the human body and opens up landscapes as otherworldlyand harrowingas any you're likely to see. The result is a work of purest corporeal poetry... and a remarkably unvarnished, sympathetic portrait of doctors and nurses at work." --Los Angeles Times
